Associate Buyer- Young Men's 

Born and raised in Los Angeles and am a FIDM alumni-Bachelors of Science, Business Management with a focus on Merchandise Marketing and Buying. 

My experience in the industry started as an Assistant Buyer for Forever 21. I was with the company for just shy of two years. Following that,  I spent a year and a half on the 
wholesale side where I gained sales experience for a footwear brand located in NY.   I spent a year in Denver, Colorado gaining entrepreneurial skills by managing a small business in the industry.  I ended up at Burlington where I currently am buying Young Men's Graphic Tees in the LA Buying Office. The off-price channel of the industry has been extremely rewarding and has provided a wealth of knowledge. 


My hobbies include all types of travel, hiking, cooking, wine, and animals. I enjoy volunteering at dog shelters walking the dogs, provided spare blankets for the animals, etc. I'm the daughter of a chef so the culinary world has a large influence in my life.
